Math Problem Statement

Given sets A = {2, 3, 5, 7} and B = {5, 7, 9, 11}, find A ∩ B (the intersection of A and B).

Solution

The question asks for the intersection of two sets AA and BB.

Given:

  • A={2,3,5,7}A = \{2, 3, 5, 7\}
  • B={5,7,9,11}B = \{5, 7, 9, 11\}

Finding ABA \cap B (the intersection):

The intersection of two sets includes only the elements that are common to both sets.

  • Elements in AA: 2,3,5,72, 3, 5, 7
  • Elements in BB: 5,7,9,115, 7, 9, 11
  • Common elements: 5,75, 7

Thus, AB={5,7}A \cap B = \{5, 7\}.

Answer:

The correct choice is B. {5,7}\{5, 7\}.
